Beneath the Surface: Albus Cavus - Urban Microworld

Wednesday, July 17, 2013, 3:30 p.m.

In our urban environment, every square inch contains hundreds of organisms that are an important part of our ecosystem. This workshop explores the microscopic structure, topography and anatomy of well-known as well as rare members of urban fauna and flora. Participants will practice analyzing and sketching living organisms.

Albus Cavus is an international collective of artists and scientists who improve quality of urban life through arts and creativity. This goal is accomplished with community-based public art, participatory events, interactive environments and project-oriented education. “Beneath the Surface” workshops present innovative art techniques for exploring the world beneath the obvious and invisible to the bare eye.
